If you are subscribed to Starlink (internet), what is it like when relying on satellite connection for both online live service play (as in multiplayer) and casual gaming? I’ve heard that star link internet sucks, is the subscription even worth the money? How well does satellite connection hold up in comparison to oceanic fiber optic cable internet? (Which is the most common form of connecting for the majority as it’s been around longer).

    When it first came out I had Starlink for a short while, there were no good wired options available in the area. It could have pretty good speeds here and there, but was wildly inconsistent. Playing an MMO was alright in lower density areas, like a dungeon or in a solo zone, but in busier areas it could struggle.

    It was fantastic for downloads and streaming videos when there was a healthy cache built in, though!
